Life Coaching - Personal & Professional

Certified Coach Practitioner, CCF Personal Challenges: Sometimes we need a little reminder of how strong we are. Maybe it's an over active self-consciousness, shyness or not liking who stares back in the mirror - no matter the issue, we will help you re-build your personal confidence and self-esteem. A strong mental, emotional and physical you is a you that's ready to take on the world...or just the day. Professional Challenges: Feel like you have the weight of your career resting on your shoulders (not to mention everything else in life)? Whether you are an office warrior, a corporate executive or starting your career, sometimes we're not on the exact path we want to be. Let's figure it out and make the adjustment.

Health Coaching

Life by Design aims to help all of our clients live the healthiest lives they can. In order to reach this goal, we offer a variety of services that focus on overall health. We have a well rounded approach to our services focusing on three main factors: Nutrition, Activity and Lifestyle. We provide an easy to follow, step by step health plan and recommend fun movement ideas, to adhere to the positive reinforcement you need to make big lifestyle changes. These are not quick fixes, we focus on Habit Change to create long lasting results. Take a look at some of the services we offer, and please get in touch if you have any questions.

Sustained Health Behavior Change

You are being offered exceptional, expert guidance for improving your wellbeing to feel all the better in your life by having the ultimate freedom of doing what you wish with your body when you wish to do it--feeling fresh throughout! You will experience improvements in your physical health parameters per proven methods that have sustainable impacts for you, your loved ones, possible other animal loved ones and the planet--simultaneously! To help you with this, I am focused on your agenda for your life as a hub of engagement, motivation, and confidence for further aligning your behaviors with your deepest and strongest priorities. Throughout this journey, I will be honoring the struggles and difficulties that may arise when making any kind of change, being present with your sense of engagement, orienting to your strongest motives within you (and their impact around you), while empowering you with the most proven and powerful approaches to healing, detoxifying, and optimizing your mind, body, and spirit that has been proven to maximize your health-span. Given my world-class training of coaching (accepted into the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers in Krakov, Poland), along with my other highly credible training (Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition, etc.), I offer you and/or your loved ones an engaging experience that's value-added for a wide-range of individuals that can vastly vary in their degrees of motivation. Depending on your/your loved one's degree of motivation, I ensure engagement, your agenda as primary, and collaboration with guidance while supporting your choice throughout, while still ensuring there is informed choice regarding where you are on the spectrum of health in relation to where you wish to be, with possibilities for improving any deeper desires or discrepancies therein. You know how profound it is to realize that we have just one body in this life! Now is your opportunity to start making either small or large changes (depending on where you are at) to either begin or evolve your wellbeing to the next level. The evidence-based approach of coaching will help you with your own sense of motivation, confidence, and alignment or not, while my other expertise in optimal health will provide convenient and easy possibilities for seeing and feeling results that last a lifetime. Welcome to you being pleasantly renewed if you choose. I am here as an option for helping you walk or run for you to ultimately have fulfillment and fun in this journey of life. For those of you wondering more of the how in all this, I use evidence-based motivational psychology to help you feel more motivated for your own reasons, paired with a non-judgemental approach of partnership that provides evidence-based guidance for enhancing your confidence and activation. This is paired with the strongest evience-based food approaches that have healing, detoxing, and/or thriving affects within the body. The especially unique angle I specialize in is not needing to count calorie, macro-nutrient, or any other counting type approach, nor long or effortful food preparation or cooking; rather, I invite you into eating more powerful plant combinations of whole-foods that synergistically lead to healing and optimal wellbeing in your body in the most convenient ways I have found that leave you satisfied in your fullness and nourishment.

Nutritionist

My passion is to support people to be as "healthy" as they can be. The word health has a very different meaning to everyone. What does health mean to you? I have a deep desire to help individuals achieve their long-term diet and nutrition goals. Whether you're seeking help with weight loss, diabetes, IBS, or disease prevention, or any other main health concerns, each client is individually evaluated and provided with a well-researched and comprehensive plan they can follow.

Distance Reconnective Energy Healer

Reconnective Healing is not a technique, a therapy, or a treatment. Reconnective Healing assists in returning the body, mind, and emotional state to that of balance. The Practitioner is a facilitator, one that aids in accelerating this process. Reconnective Healing is a form of energy healing that does not require the practitioner to touch the client, the energy will be received with the same effectiveness in an in-person session as a distance online session. One session of energy work can go a long way to helping the body heal itself, as the energy continues to work after the session is over. It is recommended that Reconnective Healing be done in three session blocks per issue.

Certified Life & Career Coach

I coach healthcare professionals and school leaders whose work has become their life. After years of being in the same industry, they feel stuck. Are you on the verge of burnout? I can help. Are you stressed-out and overworked? Do you want to reignite your passion and achieve better work-life balance? With my Purpose, Balance, and Bliss program you can achieve it. Despite how it feels right now, you do have options. Best of all, you don’t have to be a slave to ANY job to do it well. You’ve just have fallen into the trap of giving to everyone, but yourself. You have allowed others to dictate their expectations without setting boundaries and expectations of your own. You have made everyone else’s request come before your wellbeing and happiness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. This is where I come in. I help you gain clarity around what a fulfilling life means to you. We’ll design a plan to get you there while helping you leverage your time and effectiveness. You’ll learn to set and honor commitments to yourself and make your goals a priority. No more being last on your list. My clients constantly tell me how much lighter and in control they feel. They realize that they can have a fulfilling career AND a social life outside of work. They develop the confidence they didn’t even know was missing. I know how it feels because I was there. I transformed my relationship with work and went from feeling like it was something I had to do, to something I woke up excited to do. There is nothing more gratifying than helping my clients experience this for themselves. It’s why I became a life and career coach. Today I manage to fill my days with meaningful work, a complete social calendar and make a positive impact on those I encounter. I found my purpose and learned to maintain a work-life balance. This is what I teach my clients. I help them manage their minds, rework their schedules, and reconnect with their passions so they can experience all life has to offer.
